Adrenaline by Jeff Abbott

Sam made love to his pregnant wife and then went to work as usual.  Suddenly Lucy calls him and tells him to get out of the building and come down to her on the street.  As he goes out the door, the building explodes!


Hachette Books provided me with an ARC of this book to review (thank you).  It was published July 1st, so you can get a copy at your local bookstore now.


Sam attempts to save his wife from the thug who was holding her hostage in the car outside the building, but he escapes.  And then Sam is gathered up by the CIA (his employer) to talk about what just happened.  He also gets accused of being a traitor.


Sam is a good man trying to make a difference in a world gone violent and mean.  Now they are accusing him of being a traitor.  Or even worse, suggesting that Lucy might be a traitor.


Sam Capra has a problem.  He has a big problem.  They don't want him to go after Lucy or his child.  They are monitoring him to make sure he doesn't escape.  They are threatening to kill him if doesn't stop trying.  And he's NOT going to stop trying to get his wife and child back.


Mr. Abbott has written a story of corruption across all levels.  Everyone that Sam has trusted and believed in is not his friend.  What he finds out during his search for his son will destroy his faith in the power of good and ruin his life.  But he doesn't back down.


This is a thriller with no end of bad, violent people who are trying to make money from sex slaves to assassinations to weapon running.  Sam has to negotiate through them to find his wife.  Adrenaline is actually a location in the story, but your adrenaline will be working while you read this story.


Fast paced and filled with ugly truths, this story will leave you thinking of what if it's true???
